So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable.
Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (1 Cor 15:58)

Today Reminder (Proof) – 08 August 2017

A reminder for
today

Having many
things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to
come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. (2 John
1:12)

If you think about it nothing could not bring the universe
into existence, because nothing produces nothing. Everything that begins to exist
must have a cause. If you look at the universe the are many forces in the universe
that are precisely balanced and do things such as pull matter together. Without
these forces galaxies, planets and stars would have never been able to form. Many
stars have been observed to expand and contract simultaneously. They go from
very bright to very dim, even on a yearly basis. Fortunately for us our star,
the sun, has an amazing stability. It does not expand and contract
simultaneously like many other stars. If the sun did expand and contract it
would be catastrophic for life on earth. Some starts will even explode
violently into a supernova.

According to scientific research galaxies similar to our
milky way galaxy experience these stars that explode every 26 years. So, if we
know how long it takes for a supernova to occur the remnants of these
explosions should give us an idea how old the universe is. Looking for
supernova remnants in our own milky way galaxy, astronomers have only found a
total of about 250. So, if a supernova occurs only every 26 years and there are
only 250 of them, our galaxy is about 6500 years old. That is almost identical
to the Bible’s indication of the age of our world. So, the galaxy is not
millions of years old, but rather thousands of years old.

If evolutionists were correct on their estimation of the age
of the universe we would see tens of thousands of supernova remnants. In order
for us to exist on earth our sun had to be the exact mass and temperature. Not to
hot or too cold. Our sun generates a perfect amount of energy for life on
earth. The sun releases more energy in one second than mankind has produced in
all of human history. If we would experience a drop in the sun’s energy only by
a few percent all the oceans on the earth will freeze. The earth is the correct
distance from the sun. If the earth would be slightly closer or father away
from the sun, it would be too hot or too cold for life to exist on earth. The size
of the earth is also right, not too big and not too small. We also have the
right size moon primarily responsible for regulating the tides on earth. These are
just a few factors that must be just right both in a cosmic level and earth’s
local level in order to have a planet that could support life. In many examples
if you slightly alter these balances, life on earth would be impossible.

The answer is still the same. God created it all and it all
belongs to God. You are made in His image and you are definitely not the nephew
of a chimpanzee. Can you see how special this planet is and how special you are.
God made you and He gave His Son so that you can have no more fear or worries. Trust
Him, my friend as I do, for you will see His glory in me and you in the year to
come. He is my God and all I need. I will trust Him and love Him with all my
heart.

Lord, you are the rock on which we stand and there is not
a place I will go that you have not been. All our hearts and trust is in you. In
Jesus name.

Book for the month

Many Christians feel bombarded by the messages they hear and the trends they see in our rapidly changing world. How can we resist being conformed to the pattern of this world? What will faithfulness to Christ look like in these tumultuous times? How can we be true to the gospel in a world where myths and false visions of the world so often prevail? In This is Our Time, Trevin Wax provides snapshots of twenty-first-century American Life in order to help Christians understand the times. By analyzing our common beliefs and practices (smartphone habits, entertainment intake, and our views of shopping, sex, marriage, politics, and life’s purpose), Trevin helps us see through the myths of society to the hope of the gospel. As faithful witnesses to Christ, Trevin writes, we must identify the longing behind society’s most cherished myths (what is good, true, beautiful), expose the lie at the heart of these myths (what is false and damaging), and show how the gospel tells a better story – one that exposes the lie but satisfies the deeper longing.
